Against the Gods

ngth wielding his heavy sword was in a completely different realm.

Recalling the catastrophic strength he demonstrated earlier, although Lei Zhentian did not receive any substantive injuries, he no longer had the courage to continue the battle.
With a bow, he softly said.
“I admit defeat… Since you’re able to wield a heavy sword which I am not capable of even after working so hard to do so, I’m well convinced about my lost!”

“Lei Zhentian admits defeat, Blue Wind Imperial Family’s Yun Che wins!!”

The people who paid attention to this match, who waited for Yun Che to lose terribly, were once again completely dumbfounded.

Even Lei Zhentian, had actually lost in the hands of a disciple from Blue Wind Imperial Family who only possessed the strength at the tenth level of the True Profound Realm!!

A result like this, could only be described ‘incredible’.

In Yun Che’s second match, his opponent was a spear-using practitioner with strength at the fifth level of the Spirit Profound Realm.
This time, Yun Che wielded his heavy sword the moment the match started, and after three exchanges of blows, his opponent’s spear was sent flying, and his opponent was sent flying as well after the fourth exchange…

“…Blue Wind Imperial Family’s Yun Che wins!”

Third match…

“…Blue Wind Imperial Family’s Yun Che wins!”

Fourth match…

“…Blue Wind Imperial Family’s Yun Che wins!”

Fifth match…

Sixth match…

Seventh match…

Eighth match…

………

Yun Che’s matches began to receive even more attention with each subsequent match, to the point when, the moment he stepped onto the Sword Discourse Arena, even if disciples from the Four Major Sects were competing on another Sword Discourse Arena, a large number of eyes would still immediately shift onto his Sword Discourse Arena.
And then, they saw him obtain victory… victory… victory… another victory… and still another victory… Their expressions toward him would change over and over as well, startlement… astonishment… shock… horror… and at the end, they were basically numbed.

Every one of them still recalled the first day of the Ranking Tournament; that burst of laughter that resounded through the entire audience when Yun Che came up on stage for the Profound Strength Assessment.
But now, he used one match after another, with each match capable of being crowned as ‘impossible’ and ‘miraculous’ victories, to respectfully give every one of those, who laughed at him, a resounding slap on the face in turn.

Whenever each match began, everyone would think that he would definitely lose that match, but he still turned out victorious… Everyone then began to feel like watching a match he would lose in, but they were still left disappointed.
In the first round of group stages, Yun Che obtained complete victories in all twelve matches.
Even during the second round of group stages, as each match went by, he still obtained victory in every one of them, not giving them the chance to see a single loss.

If he was at the peak of the Spirit Profound Realm, or a practitioner at the sixth or seventh level, then everyone would be shocked when he obtained successive victories, but they would not feel that it was unacceptable.
But this Yun Che… His strength was merely at the True Profound Realm! A profound realm in which they thought was simply unworthy of participating in the Ranking Tournament.

Yet he swept through one Spirit Profound Realm absolute genius after another!

And he swept through their understanding as well.

As Yun Che accumulated victories, Qin Wushang’s expression became more and more agitated as well.
When Yun Che won his tenth match, he was so agitated that he stood up from his seat and momentarily teared up… Because with these ten victories, even if he were to lose all of the five remaining matches, it would still be enough to for him to place in the top hundred of the individual ranking! Blue Wind Imperial Family’s group ranking, might even directly enter the top fifty as well!!

Not only did it break Blue Wind Imperial Family’s history of never being in the top hundred of the Ranking Tournament, it was even a huge breakthrough!

Covering her lips with her two hands, Cang Yue’s cheeks were also stained in tears.
She looked at Yun Che who was walking down the Sword Discourse Arena.
Her vision was become more and more blurry, and in her heart, she was screaming this over and over: ‘Father, are you seeing this? Junior Brother Yun has carried us to the top hundred rankings… Father, your dream has truly been fulfilled.
With this one vent of frustration, our Blue Wind Imperial Family will no longer be ridiculed by others… Father, are you seeing this…? Are you seeing this…’

Where there were happy people, there would naturally be angry ones as well.
At the Burning Heaven Clan’s seating area, Fen Juecheng’s expression was sullen and his lungs were about to explode from anger.
He was currently really regretting coming to the Heavenly Sword Villa personally.
Otherwise, he would not be so angry to the extreme, because he was unable to personally take action, and had to suppress his rage so much that he felt like dying.
He wanted to see Yun Che being ridiculed.
He wanted to see him tortured by his opponents.
Yet, what he saw was Yun Che taking the spotlight time and time again, while grabbing everyone’s eyes time and time again; he even suppressed the spotlight of all the Four Major Sects’ disciples.

These two rounds of small group matches, were basically his own personal performance matches!!

“Big bro, it’s completely unnecessary for you to be so angry over such a small figure.” Fen Juebi said slowly.
“For him to be capable of winning up till now, I can only say that his luck is simply too great.
In the first set of small group matches, he was basically alloted into the group with the weakest average strength… and in this second set of group matches, hehe, did you see all those trashy opponents he encountered? Until now, his strongest opponent was only at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm.
If he had encountered any single disciple from the top ten sects, he would have been thrashed so hard his own mother would’ve been incapable of recognizing him.”

“Hmph!” Fen Juecheng gave him a glare.
“When you’re at the tenth level of the True Profound Realm, were you able to defeat an opponent at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm!?”

Fen Juebi was momentarily at a loss of words, and then, he simply pouted his lips.
“If you put it that way, then he’s indeed a freak.
But currently, I really wish to see him continue winning, until… he enters the top thirty-two.”

Fen Juecheng’s eyes flashed.
“Are you saying?”

“Hehe! If he were to really reach the top thirty-two, enter the elimination matches, and unfortunately be matched up with me, tsktsk…” Fen Juebi licked his lips, his expression revealing a smile like that of a poisonous snake.
“I have a way to turn this freak into trash.
The exhilaration from personally destroying a freak-level genius, big brother, you know of it as well, it’s a wonderful sensation that cannot be described.”
